The Retreat Costa Rica - Wellness Resort & Spa

The Retreat Costa Rica - Wellness Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"The Retreat Costa Rica is a dream—it’s everything I expected and so much more. This beautiful retreat is secluded, peaceful, and truly feels like a place to disconnect from the outside world and reconnect with yourself. The food is amazing, the people are wonderful, and there are so many opportunities to nourish both body and soul. They offer a variety of yoga classes, sound healing, hikes, and advanced treatments and therapies. Because this is a very small resort, it has a wonderfully intimate, family like atmosphere. The staff is absolutely incredible, warm, caring, and genuinely attentive. Shout out to Edmond & Lisbeth for the warm reception and deep conversations, to Carlos that made sure everyone is training their most important muscle: your smile 😊 and to all the wonderful staff members serving the nourishing meals to name a few: Andres, Juan, Karina, Pablo!! I’m leaving feeling grateful, renewed, and already wishing I could come back soon. ❤️🌴"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in San Rafael?
The best area to stay in San Rafael, Alajuela Province, is around the town centre, particularly near the main park and its surrounding streets.This area provides the most convenient access to local amenities and a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere. The main park, Parque de San Rafael, is a central point, often bustling with local life, and the streets immediately surrounding it offer a selection of local eateries and shops. It's a key spot for experiencing the day-to-day rhythm of the town.For travellers looking for a tranquil base with easy access to nature, the areas slightly outside the immediate town centre, particularly those offering views of the Central Valley or the Poás Volcano, are ideal. Many properties here are set within lush gardens, providing a sense of seclusion while still being a short drive from San Rafael's conveniences. This is particularly appealing for couples seeking a peaceful retreat.Families will find the town centre appealing due to the proximity of local services and the park for children to enjoy.

The clear skies and comfortable temperatures are superb for enjoying the region's luxurious accommodations, many of which feature outdoor pools and dining areas. It's an excellent time for couples seeking a tranquil escape with plenty of opportunities for outdoor adventure.While the dry season is popular, the shoulder months of May and November can also be a good option.
